TLDR : Answer Summary
When you obtain a 3-month tourist visa (TR) from a Thai consulate, it is typically valid for entry into Thailand within 90 days from the visa issuance date. Upon entering Thailand, you are usually granted a stamp that allows you to stay for 60 days. If you wish to stay longer, you may apply for a 30-day extension at an immigration office, which would total up to 90 days of allowable stay.

You are confusing how long you get stamped into the country on a tourist visa - which is for 60 days

with how long a tourist visa is valid for - which is 90 days <- meanng you have 90 days from the date you get the visa to ENTER thailand. When you do enter the country you will be stamped in for 60 days

IF you want to get more time in the country you can extend that by 30 more days at the immigration office for 1900baht

Josan Selwyn you were stamped in on TR 60 <- 60 DAY tourist visa, you entered the country on the 27th of June and you were stamped in until the 25th of August. You stamped out of the country on the 3rd of September meaning you were on 8 day overstay the day you stamped out IF you didn't get the 30 day extension at the immigration office for 1900 baht.

That's strange they didn't charge you for the overstay or the 4000baht fine.

visa class TR.60 is a tourist visa right?

You did not stay 67 days in Thailand without paying a overstay, it's not possible without an extension on ur tourist visa. Ur story is a bit unclear.

When you get into Thailand you will get a stamp that allows you to stay 60 days. If you want to stay another week you visit an Immigration Office in your area and apply for an Extension of Stay, you will get 30 days extra. They not come to you to ask, if you stay 2 months and 1 week and you did not apply for this Extension of Stay, the Immigration Officer at the checkpoint where you leave will notice that you overstayed your visa and you will get fined 500 Thb a day.

@Josan *******
You get stamped in for 60 days, IF you want to stay longer you get a 30 day extension and then you have to leave the country to get another visa.

60 days, and then you can extend it in immigration office for +30 days more, totally will be 90 days.

copy/pasted - So I am not sure why the op thinks it is valid for 90 days. <strong>I guess he means the visa validity....</strong>

@Michael *******
beacause the visa itself is valid for 90 days, it becomes invalid/used the day you enter the country. It's then that you'll recieve an admitted to stay stamp for 60 days.

@Michael *******
the visa is valid for 90 days from it's date of issue, meaning it must be used within those 90 days, you will however only be stamped into the country for 60 days when you do enter.

Renat Ibragimov sorry for confusion mate i typed in the wrong name. Unless I am wrong a tourist visa is valid for 60 days, optional extension for another 30 days. So I am not sure why the op thinks it is valid for 90 days. I guess he means the visa validity.... its just to confusing for some haha

@Michael *******
sorry, which one? if we talking about author’s single entry tourist visa is 60 + 30 days with extension as I told before
Michael ********
Josan Selwyn The visa is for 60 days not 90.
Robert ********
You get stamped in on arrival for 60 days, you can then extend at Immigration for 30 more days for Bt. 1,900....if you wish to remain any longer, you need to apply for another visa in a neighboring country....

@Biff ******
then you have to extend another 30 days since they stamped for 60 days?
Biff *******
Its valid for 90 days which means you get 90 days in which to use it. When you do use it you get stamped in for 60 days.

Why have to extended for 30 days when visa already valid for 90 days?
Tod *********
IF you got a single entry tourist visa it is valid for 90 days <- meaning you have that long to ENTER the country and get stamped in for 60 days <- which is the amount of time everyone gets stamped in on a tourist visa entry.

Are you talking about a tourist visa?
